Pronunciation on Wikipedia is most often given using the the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The goal is that phonemic interpretations should not differ depending on the reader's regional dialect. For ease of understanding, fairly broad IPA transcriptions are generally used. Some articles also link to an audio file, usually in the Ogg Vorbis format, that contains a pronunciation of the word in question.

A good place for English-speakers to start learning IPA is to consult the IPA chart for English and the more detailed International Phonetic Alphabet for English.
